Four tense and somber tracks make up Tacto e Indiscreción, Equipo’s second release for clang and his seventh in total. Rather than seeking equilibrium and composure, the Chilean-born and Barcelona-local producer puts forward a disturbing vision of extremes that destabilize and bewilder. Equipo’s invitation to this, in his own words, senseless journey starts with the mesmerizing track ‘Las Maneras’ where icy and collected rhythms predominate. This leads on to ‘Discrepancia’, a track that in a way is central to the release as it confronts the prominent features of excess and contention. This is followed by the blunt and mystifying track ‘Inclemencia’ that first suggests and then proceeds to strip the listener off of all its reference point. The release concludes with ‘Catásis’ that can be likened to the final room in a windowless mansion – an image of the listener’s experience, shut up in the solitary confinement of his own mind.

“While desperately seeking some recognizable feature a question slowly grew on me: where were I and how had I arrived here. In fact, the second question came to me a bit later as I hadn’t quite accepted the fact that I was in an unexpected place, and that, sooner or later, some sense would come to all of this, and everything would fall in place and adjust itself to a perfectly simple and straight-forward explanation.”
